LFN Author Series: Rachel Silber Devlin - Snapshots of my Father, John Silber

Growing up as one of John Silber's seven children, Rachel Silber Devlin had a front row seat to the controversies that surrounded the most important issues of the day. John Silber was a great thinker on the national stage, and as president of Boston University he and his wife, Kathryn, got to meet everyone from world leaders to artists, scientists to athletes. Rachel and her siblings were lucky to be taken along for this fascinating ride.

In Snapshots of My Father, John Silber, Rachel explores the life of a great man, but also offers images and stories of a great dad and a man who enhanced her world and also the world of thousands of others.

Rachel will be interviewed by Matt Robinson, host of The Writer’s Block on The Needham Channel (https://www.needhamchannel.org/the-writers-block/) and author of Lions, Tigers, and…Bulldogs? An unofficial guide to the legends and lore of the Ivy League (www.lionstigersbulldogs.com).
